// Please do not add "convenience" functions for converting strings to integers
// that return the value and ignore success/failure. That encourages people to
// write code that doesn't properly handle the error conditions.
+//
+// DO NOT use these functions in any UI unless it's NOT localized on purpose.
+// Instead, use base::MessageFormatter for a complex message with numbers
+// (integer, float, double) embedded or base::Format{Number,Double,Percent} to
+// just format a single number/percent. Note that some languages use native
+// digits instead of ASCII digits while others use a group separator or decimal
+// point different from ',' and '.'. Using these functions in the UI would lead
+// numbers to be formatted in a non-native way.
